The figure of 200 gallons per capita per day is a reasonable figure for domestic use of water. Extending this figure to include the estimated 1948 population in the urban area, the total domestic water consumption was 6.26 MOD. An estimate of the various uses of water within the Las Vegas urban area is as follows: Total water used in Las Vegas urban area Water used for domestic purposes (estimated) Water used for direct cooling and fbr railroad (Estimated Maximum) Water used for irrigation of lawns and gardens within Las Vegas urban area 20.00 MOD 6.26 MOD 2.74 MOD 11.00 MGD
